它不能接受文件句柄。install_requires参数只能是字符串或字符串列表。

当然，您可以在设置脚本中读取您的文件，并将其作为字符串列表传递给install_requires。

import os
from setuptools import setup

with open('requirements.txt') as f:
    required = f.read().splitlines()

setup(...
install_requires=required,
...)

在Travis中安装当前包。这避免了使用requirements.txt文件。 例如:

language: python
python:
  - "2.7"
  - "2.6"
install:
  - pip install -q -e .
script:
  - python runtests.py

虽然这不是问题的确切答案，但我推荐Donald Stufft在https://caremad.io/2013/07/setup-vs-requirement/上的博客文章，它很好地回答了这个问题。我用它取得了巨大的成功。

简而言之，requirements.txt不是setup.py的替代品，而是部署的补充。在setup.py中保持包依赖关系的适当抽象。设置requirements.txt或更多的文件，以获取用于开发、测试或生产的软件包依赖关系的特定版本。

例如，在deps/下的回购中包含包:

# fetch specific dependencies
--no-index
--find-links deps/

# install package
# NOTE: -e . for editable mode
.

PIP执行包的setup.py并安装在install_requires中声明的依赖项的特定版本。没有表里不一，这两件文物的用途都被保留了下来。

我是这样做的:

import re

def requirements(filename):
    with open(filename) as f:
        ll = f.read().splitlines()
    d = {}
    for l in ll:
        k, v = re.split(r'==|>=', l)
        d[k] = v
    return d

def packageInfo():
    try:
        from pip._internal.operations import freeze
    except ImportError:
        from pip.operations import freeze

    d = {}
    for kv in freeze.freeze():
        k, v = re.split(r'==|>=', kv)
        d[k] = v
    return d

req = getpackver('requirements.txt')
pkginfo = packageInfo()

for k, v in req.items():
    print(f'{k:<16}: {v:<6} -> {pkginfo[k]}')

下面是一个完整的hack(用pip 9.0.1测试)，基于Romain的回答，解析requirements.txt，并根据当前的环境标记进行过滤:

from pip.req import parse_requirements

requirements = []
for r in parse_requirements('requirements.txt', session='hack'):
    # check markers, such as
    #
    #     rope_py3k    ; python_version >= '3.0'
    #
    if r.match_markers():
        requirements.append(str(r.req))

print(requirements)

另一个可能的解决方案……

def gather_requirements(top_path=None):
    """Captures requirements from repo.

    Expected file format is: requirements[-_]<optional-extras>.txt

    For example:

        pip install -e .[foo]

    Would require:

        requirements-foo.txt

        or

        requirements_foo.txt

    """
    from pip.download import PipSession
    from pip.req import parse_requirements
    import re

    session = PipSession()
    top_path = top_path or os.path.realpath(os.getcwd())
    extras = {}
    for filepath in tree(top_path):
        filename = os.path.basename(filepath)
        basename, ext = os.path.splitext(filename)
        if ext == '.txt' and basename.startswith('requirements'):
            if filename == 'requirements.txt':
                extra_name = 'requirements'
            else:
                _, extra_name = re.split(r'[-_]', basename, 1)
            if extra_name:
                reqs = [str(ir.req) for ir in parse_requirements(filepath, session=session)]
                extras.setdefault(extra_name, []).extend(reqs)
    all_reqs = set()
    for key, values in extras.items():
        all_reqs.update(values)
    extras['all'] = list(all_reqs)
    return extras

然后使用…

reqs = gather_requirements()
install_reqs = reqs.pop('requirements', [])
test_reqs = reqs.pop('test', [])
...
setup(
    ...
    'install_requires': install_reqs,
    'test_requires': test_reqs,
    'extras_require': reqs,
    ...
)
